*Morpeth Footpaths Society

Why set up? 'Social/economic: Idealism of the sixties. The (then) fuel crisis and doom-laden predictions. Morpeth opening up as a commuter town with an increasing number of incomers keen to know more of the area. Widespread building development threatened some routes (Stobhill, Kirkhill, Lancaster Park, Hepscott, Longhorsley, Longframlington etc all had developments going on). The purpose was to introduce members to the footpath networks around Morpeth, to encourage their use, and to keep them open ...'

'If you would like to join us on a walk to experience what it is all about, have a look at the Walking Programme and choose from one of the many walks you would like to accompany us on ... A maximum of 2 walks can be taken as a guest and full membership would be expected thereafter ... After the walk, you will undoubtedly have had a marvellous time, and will want to join the Society ... The Society celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2014!'
